When can you bath puppies?

It is generally recommended to wait until puppies are at least 6-8 weeks old before giving them a bath. This allows time for their skin to develop properly and develop a natural protective barrier. Before 6-8 weeks, puppies rely on their mother's milk for nourishment and warmth, and bathing them too early can disrupt this process.

Here are a few additional things to keep in mind when bathing puppies:

- Use warm water and a gentle puppy shampoo.

- Be careful not to get water in the puppy's ears or eyes.

- Rinse the puppy thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

- Dry the puppy with a soft towel.

- Puppies can get cold easily, so make sure they are dried thoroughly and kept warm after a bath.

- It's important to note that puppies should not be bathed too frequently, as this can dry out their skin. Aim to bathe your puppy every 4-6 weeks, or as needed if they get dirty.

If you are not comfortable bathing your puppy yourself, you can take them to a professional groomer who has experience with puppies.
